High-Throughput Genotyping of CRISPR/Cas Edited Cells in 96-Well Plates.

ABSTRACT: The emergence in recent years of DNA editing technologies-Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector (TALE) guided nucleases (TALENs), clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas family enzymes, and Base-Editors-have greatly increased our ability to generate hundreds of edited cells carrying an array of alleles, including single-nucleotide substitutions. However, the infrequency of homology-dependent repair (HDR) in generating these substitutions in general requires the screening of large numbers of edited cells to isolate the sequence change of interest. Here we present a high-throughput method for the amplification and barcoding of edited loci in a 96-well plate format. After barcoding, plates are indexed as pools which permits multiplexed sequencing of hundreds of clones simultaneously. This protocol works at high success rate with more than 94% of clones successfully genotyped following analysis.

Optimization of High-Throughput Multiplexed Phenotyping of Extracellular Vesicles Performed in 96-Well Microtiter Plates.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising biomarkers for several diseases, however, no simple and robust methods exist to characterize EVs in a clinical setting. The EV Array analysis is based on a protein microarray platform, where antibodies are printed onto a solid surface that enables the capture of small EVs (sEVs) by their surface or surface-associated proteins. The EV Array analysis was transferred to an easily handled microtiter plate (MTP) format and a range of optimization experiments were performed within this study. The optimization was performed in a comprehensive analytical setup where the focus was on the selection of additives added to spotting-, blocking-, and incubation buffers as well as the storage of printed antibody arrays under different temperatures from one day to 12 weeks. After ending the analysis, the stability of the fluorescent signal was investigated at different storage conditions for up to eight weeks. The various parameters and conditions tested within this study were shown to have a high influence on each other. The reactivity of the spots was found to be preserved for up to 12 weeks when stored at room temperature and using blocking procedure IV in combination with trehalose in the spotting buffer. Similar preservation could be obtained using glycerol or sciSPOT D1 in the spotting buffers, but only if stored at 4 °C after blocking procedure I. Conclusively, it was found that immediate scanning of the MTPs after analysis was not critical if stored dried, in the dark, and at room temperature. The findings in this study highlight the necessity of performing optimization experiments when transferring an established analysis to a new technological platform.

MStern Blotting-High Throughput Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Membrane-Based Proteomic Sample Preparation for 96-Well Plates.

Project description:We describe a 96-well plate compatible membrane-based proteomic sample processing method, which enables the complete processing of 96 samples (or multiples thereof) within a single workday. This method uses a large-pore hydrophobic PVDF membrane that efficiently adsorbs proteins, resulting in fast liquid transfer through the membrane and significantly reduced sample processing times. Low liquid transfer speeds have prevented the useful 96-well plate implementation of FASP as a widely used membrane-based proteomic sample processing method. We validated our approach on whole-cell lysate and urine and cerebrospinal fluid as clinically relevant body fluids. Without compromising peptide and protein identification, our method uses a vacuum manifold and circumvents the need for digest desalting, making our processing method compatible with standard liquid handling robots. In summary, our new method maintains the strengths of FASP and simultaneously overcomes one of the major limitations of FASP without compromising protein identification and quantification.

Smartphone-Based High-Throughput Fluorimetric Assay for Histidine Quantification in Human Urine Using 96-Well Plates.

Project description:A high-throughput fluorimetric assay for histidine was developed, using a 96-well plates platform. The analyte reacts selectively with o-phthalaldehyde under mild alkaline conditions to form a stable derivative. Instrumental-free detection was carried out using a smartphone after illumination under UV light (365 nm). The method was proved to be linear up to 100 μM histidine, with an LLOQ (lower limit of quantification) of 10 μM. The assay was only prone to interference from glutathione and histamine that exist in the urine samples at levels that are orders of magnitude lower compared to histidine. Human urine samples were analyzed following minimum treatment and were found to contain histidine in the range of 280 to 1540 μM. The results were in good agreement with an HPLC corroborative method.

The establishment of mouse embryonic stem cell cultures on 96-well plates for high-throughput screening.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells can be valuable for monitoring differentiation processes and for improving applications in basic developmental biology. The application of ES cells can be a useful tool for drug discovery and toxicology. Therefore, we suggest the high-throughput screening (HTS) system based on ES cells in this study. Firstly, we optimized the feeder-free condition and seeding cell number which can maintained for at least 7 days without over-confluency. We analyzed the system by cell viability, proliferation activity, RT-PCR and morphologic/immunohistochemical evaluations. The optimal cell seeding number was 30/well that was maintained the typical colonial morphology over 9 d with 1,000 U/ml LIF in the limited space. The cell in optimized condition expressed ALP, SSEA-1, Oct 4 and Nanog and the genetic expressions showed similar to protein expressions. The cell lineage marker expressions showed faint or none. The cell viability and proliferation activity were increased in time-dependent manner in our optimized HTS system. In conclusion, the novel HTS system using ES cells can by useful for developing models for drug discovery as well as toxicological screening in the near future.

Hydrogel-Based Fluorescent Dual pH and Oxygen Sensors Loaded in 96-Well Plates for High-Throughput Cell Metabolism Studies.

Project description:In this study, we developed fluorescent dual pH and oxygen sensors loaded in multi-well plates for in-situ and high-throughput monitoring of oxygen respiration and extracellular acidification during microbial cell growth for understanding metabolism. Biocompatible PHEMA-co-PAM materials were used as the hydrogel matrix. A polymerizable oxygen probe (OS2) derived from PtTFPP and a polymerizable pH probe (S2) derived from fluorescein were chemically conjugated into the matrix to solve the problem of the probe leaching from the matrix. Gels were allowed to cure directly on the bottom of 96-well plates at room-temperature via redox polymerization. The influence of matrix's composition on the sensing behaviors was investigated to optimize hydrogels with enough robustness for repeatable use with good sensitivity. Responses of the dual sensing hydrogels to dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH were studied. These dual oxygen-pH sensing plates were successfully used for microbial cell-based screening assays, which are based on the measurement of fluorescence intensity changes induced by cellular oxygen consumption and pH changes during microbial growth. This method may provide a real-time monitoring of cellular respiration, acidification, and a rapid kinetic assessment of multiple samples for cell viability as well as high-throughput drug screening. All of these assays can be carried out by a conventional plate reader.

High throughput single-cell detection of multiplex CRISPR-edited gene modifications.

Project description:CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing has transformed our ability to rapidly interrogate the functional impact of somatic mutations in human cancers. Droplet-based technology enables the analysis of Cas9-introduced gene edits in thousands of single cells. Using this technology, we analyze Ba/F3 cells engineered to express single or multiplexed loss-of-function mutations recurrent in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Our approach reliably quantifies mutational co-occurrences, zygosity status, and the occurrence of Cas9 edits at single-cell resolution.

Integrating in vitro metabolomics with a 96-well high-throughput screening platform.

Project description:IntroductionHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is emerging as an approach to support decision-making in chemical safety assessments. In parallel, in vitro metabolomics is a promising approach that can help accelerate the transition from animal models to high-throughput cell-based models in toxicity testing.ObjectiveIn this study we establish and evaluate a high-throughput metabolomics workflow that is compatible with a 96-well HTS platform employing 50,000 hepatocytes of HepaRG per well.MethodsLow biomass cell samples were extracted for metabolomics analyses using a newly established semi-automated protocol, and the intracellular metabolites were analysed using a high-resolution spectral-stitching nanoelectrospray direct infusion mass spectrometry (nESI-DIMS) method that was modified for low sample biomass.ResultsThe method was assessed with respect to sensitivity and repeatability of the entire workflow from cell culturing and sampling to measurement of the metabolic phenotype, demonstrating sufficient sensitivity (> 3000 features in hepatocyte extracts) and intra- and inter-plate repeatability for polar nESI-DIMS assays (median relative standard deviation < 30%). The assays were employed for a proof-of-principle toxicological study with a model toxicant, cadmium chloride, revealing changes in the metabolome across five sampling times in the 48-h exposure period. To allow the option for lipidomics analyses, the solvent system was extended by establishing separate extraction methods for polar metabolites and lipids.ConclusionsExperimental, analytical and informatics workflows reported here met pre-defined criteria in terms of sensitivity, repeatability and ability to detect metabolome changes induced by a toxicant and are ready for application in metabolomics-driven toxicity testing to complement HTS assays.

Deformable 96-well cell culture plate compatible with high-throughput screening platforms.

Project description:Adherent cells such as endothelial cells sense applied mechanical stretch to adapt to changes in their surrounding mechanical environment. Despite numerous studies, signaling pathways underlying the cellular mechanosensing and adaptation remain to be fully elucidated partly because of the lack of tools that allow for a comprehensive screening approach. Conventionally, multi-well cell culture plates of standard configurations are used for comprehensive analyses in cell biology study to identify key molecules in a high-throughput manner. Given that situation, here we design a 96-well cell culture plate made of elastic silicone and mechanically stretchable using a motorized device. Computational analysis suggested that highly uniform stretch can be applied to each of the wells other than the peripheral wells. Elastic image registration-based experimental evaluation on stretch distributions within individual wells revealed the presence of larger variations among wells compared to those in the computational analysis, but a stretch level of 10%-that has been employed in conventional studies on cellular response to stretch-was almost achieved with our setup. We exposed vascular smooth muscle cells to cyclic stretch using the device to demonstrate morphological repolarization of the cells, i.e. typical cellular response to cyclic stretch. Because the deformable multi-well plate validated here is compatible with other high-throughput screening-oriented technologies, we expect this novel system to be utilized for future comprehensive analyses of stretch-related signaling pathways.

A solid-phase Bcr-Abl kinase assay in 96-well hydrogel plates.

Project description:Regulated phosphorylation by protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), such as c-Abl, is critical to cellular homeostasis. In turn, once deregulated as in the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) fusion protein Bcr-Abl, PTKs can promote cancer onset and progression. The dramatic success of the Bcr-Abl inhibitor imatinib as therapy for CML has inspired interest in other PTKs as targets for cancer drug discovery. Here we report a novel PTK activity and inhibition screening method using hydrogel-immobilized peptide substrates. Using acrylate crosslinkers, we tether peptides via terminal cysteines to thiol-presenting hydrogels in 96-well plates. These surfaces display low background and high reproducibility, allowing semiquantitative detection of peptide phosphorylation by recombinant c-Abl or by Bcr-Abl activity in cell extracts using traditional anti-phosphotyrosine immunodetection and chemifluorescence. The capabilities of this assay are demonstrated by performing model screens for inhibition with several commercially available PTK inhibitors and a collection of pyridopyrimidine Src/Abl dual inhibitors. This assay provides a practical method to measure the activity of a single kinase present in a whole cell lysate with high sensitivity and specificity as a valuable means for efficient small molecule screening.
